Married at age 25.
Neither of us are perfect but if I had to do it over, knowing what I know now, I would do the same. Soon to have our 57th wedding Anniversary.
I got a partner for life.
When we reflect on our friends choices and how screwed their lives have been, we marvel at our happiness,
The couple who introduced us, divorced about three years later.
Her best friend since HS, married her childhood sweetheart. It was a F'n nightmare.
Its a Lottery. No guarantee of success. You just take your chances, if you are willing. There are no guarantees.

I married my best friend. 30 years and it gets better every day. Do I wish for more sex? Yes!

Exactly what we have already.

I actually chose well (together 34yrs)
I know you wanted single men to respond, but I think my requirements apply to both men and women
What would I look for again?
*Commitment to family
*Intelligence
*hopefully ability to help provide
What would cause me to hesitate?
*My in-laws caused hell for decades, before passing away. I'd walk away if the other person's family had no boundaries with each other. I wouldn't go through that again.

Default: must be attracted to her more than like 90% of other women you are attracted to.
1. Not a career corporate ladder climber. Your kids will not have a mom. Luckily I didn’t have to deal with this, even though I had no idea I should even be looking out for it.
2. Will admit when she’s wrong
3. On the same page regarding kids.
4. Recognizes that people change and gives room for changing opinions years down the road.
5. Religious values must align pretty closely. The only thing more difficult than a religious/atheist couple is an interfaith religious couple.

Big tits. All women are crazy and maniacs nowadays. Just get one that’s hot with big titties. If you’re gonna be miserable, might as well do it with a couple of cannons or bolt-ons

On our second date I asked my future wife what she wanted for dinner....her response was "I have some Arby's coupons
Arby's classic beef 'n cheddar, curly fries and a Jamocha shake is Elite dining. If I had that more than once a year I'd be 200 lbs tho..

I think I would take her family into account a little more. My wife has a brother but my boys don't have an aunt/uncle (I'm an only child and my BIL is a colossal frickup). I may not interact much with mine but they have at points been great sources of knowledge. My boys are missing out on that.
My wife grew up poor and worked her way into college on an athletic scholarship before coaching & moving into her current job. Our household now compared to her mom's is at least a class and a half different. It's taken my wife two decades to make that transition.
A distant second would be her friends. Consider them as recon that'll help you during the numerous fights you'll have while going from two singles to a married couple.
Now the top one I looked at was how she was with friends who have kids. It gave me an idea of what kind of mom she'd be. Family/legacy was a huge thing when I was growing up.

One piece of advice for anyone single in their 20s, 30s, or 40s is to become more physically active.
Gym, bike, hike, walk, run.
Most people who are consistently active will have other positive human traits and/or they are trying to improve themselves and are not ashamed of not being "perfect."
And if you find another active person, that commonality will tie you two together in that you can embark on adventures together.

So would you rather have a portly Maine husky woman that can cook?

No. Not at all.
No where did I say someone not attractive. I'm talking someone who brings nothing to the table other than appearance.
